Mets take series, beat Diamondbacks 5-2!
Remember to check out our homepage at my team rivals
The New York Mets beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2 today to take two of three in the series.
Starter Johan Santana was not great, but he certainly got the job
done, six innings, one run, eight strikeouts. He deserved better but
got a no decision. He struggled a bit with his control walking four and
going deep in the count several times.
The Mets caught a break in the decisive ninth when Serrano….I mean
Carlos Delgado(sorry, but watch the movie Major League and tell me he
isn’t Serrano’s twin), hit into what should have been a double play
ball to Conor Jackson who sent it flying into the outfield…(the check
is in the mail Conor). The Mets added two insurance runs after
Jackson’s early Christmas Present.

The New York Mets lead the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-1 through six innings.
Mets starter Johan Santana has been effective if not brilliant. He
showed veteran skill in escaping a bases loaded jam in the sixth.
However, his pitch count is high…116, so this might be all for
him.
David Wright slammed a monster home run today.
Check back later for full details.
Mets blown out, 10-4

The New York Mets were crushed 10-4 by the Arizona Diamondbacks today.
Mike Pelfrey and the pen struggled….obviously. The lone bright spot was a three run homer by Carlos Delgado.
Once again, while it is still early, and they have a winning record,
(barely), I am worried about the “win one, lose one” trend they are on.
As I have mentioned repeatedly, it wouldn’t be an issue had the season
not ended the way it did last year…..just my opinion.
Mets crush D-backs, Alou returns!

The
New York Mets ripped the Arizona Diamondbacks, 7-2 last night. The game
marked the return to the Mets line up of veteran Moises Alou. Alou had
a base hit and ripped two hard line drives.
His presence seemed to inspire the Mets;
“He’s another bopper,” Church said. “Just to have him in there, it’s a
great feeling. You just look at the lineup, and you’re like ‘Wow,
everyone can do some damage.’ What he brings, it’s a veteran presence
and a lethal bat in the middle of the lineup.”
Jose Reyes certainly seemed inspired with a three hit performance
including a triple. Reyes, in my simple mind, has always been the key
to the New York Mets success. If the return of Moises Alou helps Reyes,
we are a much more formidable team. When Jose Reyes is on base,
generally speaking, good things tend to happen.
My concern with this club though is still consistency; you get
clobbered at home against a virtual triple A team like the Pittsburg
Pirates, then come to Arizona and whip the Diamondbacks.I am thrilled
with the victory, but again, lets see more of this type of play before
we get too excited.
The teams hook up again today at 3:45. It will be Mike Pelfrey
for the Mets against Brandon Webb for the Diamondbacks. Lets
make it two in a row guys.
